I became more careful to share because I saw that usually I have a different
perspective, and, at least in my own perception, many times the reaction that I
felt was more oriented to "be right" instead only to take what is good for us
and let what is not, giving to each idea and perspective a good place.
I believe that there are "no trues" are only perceptions, experiences,
individual reality constructions and nothing is written.
And taking the risk, I decided to stay and share, especially when the subject
is something close or related with my heart and experiences.
I live in a Paramedic Family. I don't know exactly how this experience started
in our family. My brother and I were the first generation as volunteers. I
studied at the time when women couldn't go into the ambulances but could
support in disasters or home situations.
I lived as paramedic huge disasters in my country, as the worst earthquake in
our country story, or the biggest gas explosion who destroyed a whole city.
My daughter and the daughters of my brothers now are paramedics too. Now they
can go into the ambulance and serve directly in the common situations that they
support.
My son in law and almost the whole group of closest friends of them are
paramedics. There is no accident that we find on the streets that we don't stop
to support when the official support is not arrived yet.
During the last years I have contributed to this volunteer group and other
similar government institutions.
And what I saw is something that somebody shared here. It is not a "trauma"
experience what this professions produces, is more an "stress" experience.
Except when the situation "touch" their own stories or they are directly
involved. For example, when they take part in an accident where some paramedic
partner die.
Then, apparently the experiences of this professions are not traumatic "by
themselves". And, apparently, the stress is an inherent part of this
professions.
The inner demands that this profession requires need to be attended to give
them a good way to flow and to be handled.
Then, what we work in our group process is more oriented to:
- How support each other to feel secure and connected
- How to distinguish their different persons in work, home, as parents, etc.
- How to close each day as a cycle in the intention to stay present and not
carry thing that not belongs to them.
- How stay aware about their possible patterns. When they feel the impulse to
break rules or put themselves in risk they can ask to themselves: ¿For whom/who
or what I'm doing this? ¿To whom/ who or what I'm being loyal?
- How to maintain the healthy emotional distance of the situation, for example
to see their patient with a whole family behind them.
- How to identifiy signals of entangled of have a different experience (as
traumatic for example)
- Etc., etc.
The individual situations are supported in a different way. Many of them are
been supported by systemic work as constellations or others approaches.
And I don't have any experience with veterans, then I don't know if this apply
in similar way or not.
With love,

Asunto: [ConstellationTalk] Working with War Veterans & Emergency Services
Personnel
G'day All,
At the end of Nov. co-facilitating a program called "The Vets Journey Home".
It is the first time in Australia for this cultural adaptation of a successful
USA program which now serves Paramedics & other emergency services as well as
Vets.
I am wondering if any of you have worked with Vets and / or PTSD and have
anything like processes or experiences that you might share.
In discussions with my US piers I am given to understand much of the work is
listening and then facilitating an often powerful and deeply emotional process
for an each individual when they arrive at the place of being ready.
I "feel" there could be some healthy appropriate way to apply constellation
work yet I seem to have a mental block as to how that might be. Unusually for
me I seem to be stuck in the place of "I must get this right for the
participants"....:-)
Sooooo Help please. I'm really interested in what you have to say, even if it
is simply stretching your imagination and general experience to looking outside
the box for something that might benefit these people.
Many thanks
Love, Light and Laughter...Den
